do they realize that the starlink v2-mini satellites are at 50-100Gbps
currently? yes the individual user is only getting ~200Mb, because they have
enough customers to need to share the available bandwidth (and if you want to
pay enough, you can get a lot more)
not to mention the increased latency from the signal having to travel 60x as far
(or the problem that there are far fewer satellites that can be deployed at
geostationary orbit than at the starlink altitudes)
the article authors read a press release and don't know what they are talking
about :-(
